We (Wouter, Brian, Tiago and I) tested the new code 2022-08-29. We needed to make a few updates to the requirements and conda recipe, and also work around occasional invalid values for AMEBA.MODE (sometimes it is reported as "LOCKEDBY 21474836481" – perhaps always once just after setting it to 1). We also saw some insane values reported for declination (several thousand) all clustered in a short period of time.
Here is a log excerpt from Brian that shows the invalid AMEBA.MODE value:

Other changes:
Note: I have retained SimDIMM for now. But I hope that once we have a simulated mode for the SOAR DIMM (DM-35865) that we will consider getting rid of it.
Pull requests:
I hope we can test this before merging it.
